Chapter 478: Finalized

Su Jin was not surprised that Bai Chongxi would target his penicillin, money was destined to become something that everyone grabbed from the time it came out.

Compared with the price of cabbage that was less than a dime in later generations, penicillin is a proper high-tech, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a life-saving miracle drug. Because scientists have not yet invented a way to cultivate penicillin strains on a large scale, the current production of penicillin is very low, and a box of ten penicillin can sell the same volume of gold on the market. Although Su Jin had already told the Germans about the method of cultivating penicillin on a large scale, according to the strict prohibition of the Germans, a series of work to be carried out, from selecting soil and preparing culture liquid, etc., there were at least two to three years before it was put into mass production, and the price of penicillin remained high during this time.

The reason why Su Jin was able to afford such a huge team of the 202nd Army, and that he was still living such a nourishing life, was not only due to the credit of the weapon shop system, but also to the treasure of penicillin. You must know that in the past two years, Su Jin has relied on selling penicillin to be able to afford the 50,000 or 60,000 horses of the 202nd Army, and he has lived so well. Not only that, but this guy also has the leisure to secretly save a lot of money abroad for future retirement.

It's just that now Bai Chongxi has also taken a fancy to this business, so he has to think about it.

Seeing that Su Jin was a little embarrassed, Bai Chongxi took a sip of wine, picked up two peanuts and put them in his mouth and chewed them slowly, and then said slowly: "Don't worry about that little money, you kid, I know that you have made a lot of money by selling this in the past two years, but I can be sure that most of your goods are sold abroad through those Germans, right?" ”

"Chief Bai, how do you know?" Su Jin couldn't help but look at him in surprise.

"Hey...... If I don't even know this, haven't all these years been in vain? Bai Chongxi laughed, "Your kid has only been in this business for a few days, although I don't do this business, I also know that if there is no way, your goods will be sold, I'm afraid that you will be robbed as soon as you leave Zhejiang, you can't always send a large army to watch, right?" ”

"That's right." Su Jin was a little frustrated, doing business and fighting are two different things, you have no way to sell even if you want to, he can't sell it, he can't send his fierce soldiers out to sell penicillin along the street. As a penicillin shipper, the most important thing he should do is to sit at home and sell the goods to those middlemen, and then the middlemen will sell the goods to the customers, which is a normal business channel, otherwise the money will make you alone What those merchants eat, eating alone will be hated.

Looking at Su Jin, who was silent, Bai Chongxi patted him on the shoulder, "You hand over this business to me and Delin, let's make money together, there is no problem at all to earn millions of dollars a year, and Delin and I also make a little money to support our family by the way." ”

"You still make a little money to support your family?" Su Jin rolled his eyes and looked at him with disdain.

"Don't look at me like that." At Su Jin's eyes, Bai Chongxi could only sigh, "You don't want to think about it, so many brothers have to rely on me and Delin to feed, just rely on the little money and food allocated by the government, even we can't even afford to drink porridge, and if we don't want to find a way to make some money, our more than 100,000 brothers really want to drink the northwest wind." ”

Looking at Bai Chongxi, who had a bitter face, Su Jin nodded silently in understanding. Speaking from the heart, Su Jin's heart is also inclined to cooperate with Li Bai and the others, Su Jin from later generations still has a better understanding of the Gui system, and the Gui system led by Li Bai and the others in history mainly refers to the troops in Guangxi, and Guangxi has always been in a remote and backward place, and the construction of science, education, culture and health is very backward. But also because of this, the material conditions of the difficult Bagui children have always had a brave and good fight, defending the country is not afraid of sacrifice of the fine tradition, the late Ming Dynasty military department Shangshu Yuan Chonghuan once said, give me five thousand wolf soldiers (referring to the Guangxi army) three years to recover Liaodong, modern since the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Jintian uprising is more affected by the spirit of the country and the nation, another time and space, Guangxi is also the only region that did not appear in the whole process of resistance against Japan, and Guangxi is also the only province in the country with a complete reserve system. And the most important point is that these two people are relatively generous in both life and work, at least Su Jin has never heard of these two people having cheated on teammates, which is very important for choosing business partners.

Both of them are generals with heavy troops, since the tone has been set, the rest of the things will naturally be completed by the people below, this lunch did not end until the afternoon, when Su Jin asked the drunk Bai Chongxi to help him down to rest, he also washed his face and turned around and went to the military headquarters.

I don't know why, since he crossed over, his body began to undergo some subtle changes. For example, the strength is amazing, and it is also like the kung fu in bed...... Ahem, for example, the amount of alcohol is also very scary, and it is rare to get drunk under normal circumstances, like today, this person is drunk and drunk, and he is still in good spirits, like no one.

He walked into an office, did not disturb Zhou Yusheng, who was immersed in work, but sat down to the side of the coffee table and lit the small red clay stove, put a few pieces of charcoal down and began to boil the water, soon the water was boiled, he put three cups next to the tea tray, grabbed a handful of tea leaves and put them in the tea pot, lifted the teapot and poured boiling water, and after the boiling water brewed the tea, a strong tea fragrance began to waft in the office.

Just when he was having fun, the teapot in his hand was snatched away, and a slightly helpless and distressed voice sounded next to him, "My military seat, kung fu tea is not brewed like you, and the tea I finally got a few more times like this will be ruined by you!" ”

Su Jin pursed his lips: "It's just making tea, how can you brew it and not brew it, is it difficult to sit down like you and brew a pot of tea for a few hours like you do?" That's called a waste of time, you know? ”

"You...... Rotten wood cannot be carved! Zhou Yu turned his head angrily and ignored him, taking advantage of the fact that the tea leaves in the tea pot had not been spoiled by this guy, he quickly washed them and then re-brewed them, he was busy working and chattering at the same time to educate: "To be patient in making kung fu tea, it is eight steps, such as governing the instrument, taking tea, waiting for soup, making tea, scraping foam, pouring cans, scalding cups, and sprinkling tea......

"Stop, stop, stop......" Seeing that Zhou Yusheng began to teach his tea scriptures again, Su Jin hurriedly stopped, his chief of staff is also a wonder, he is silent on weekdays, but when he talks about tea, he starts to talk endlessly, and every time he makes himself, a layman who only knows how to drink bottled green tea, miserable.

"Let's not talk about your tea scripture today, let's get down to business first." Su Jin first told Zhou Yusheng what he had just talked about with Bai Chongxi, and then said: "I think that if we can cooperate with the Gui family, with the help of their connections and influence, we can buy penicillin all over the country, so that our 202nd Army will have a stable financial route, and at the same time, there will be one more partner, although it will be shared with forty percent of the profits, but I think it is worth it." ”

"Well, Junzuo's words do make sense, but in this way, outsiders can regard us and the Gui family as a group, will this affect Chairman Jiang's opinion of us." Zhou Yusheng raised his worries again.

"What does Chairman Jiang think of us?" The corners of Su Jin's mouth showed a faint sneer: "Although our Chairman Jiang is also a masterpiece of a generation, his strength is not very big. People like us, who are neither from Zhejiang nor graduated from Huangpu, no matter what they do, will not treat us as confidants. ”

Zhou Yusheng has a deep understanding of this, otherwise he would not have stayed in the 25th Army for more than ten years after returning from Germany, and finally became disheartened and wanted to go home.

Seeing Zhou Yusheng's somewhat excited appearance, Su Jin came to his senses and quickly changed the topic: "By the way, have the casualties in this battle been counted?" ”

"The statistics are out!" As soon as he mentioned his own work, Zhou Yusheng immediately entered the state, he stood up and walked to the desk and took a form and handed it to Su Jin: "You see, you see, we have a total of 4,368 killed in this battle, 121 missing, and 3,529 wounded, of which more than 800 people can no longer continue to serve as soldiers even if they are well injured, and this part of the people alone needs more than 80,000 oceans of resettlement fees." The pension of the fallen soldiers, as well as the recruitment of supplementary soldiers to award bounties and medals to the meritorious soldiers, and so on, I calculated that the pension, bounty, and resettlement fee alone will cost 800,000 oceans. And this is only the cost of personnel, as for the wear and tear of weapons and ammunition, I will not say, these things have always been your responsibility. ”

Su Jin took the form and looked at it, Rao is he had already been prepared in his heart, and he couldn't help but shake his head and said: "This is really a cannon sounding ten thousand taels of gold, these days we have been fighting all the way from Hengzhou and Jinhua, and the money spent is almost two or three million oceans, this is only the cost of personnel compensation and rewards, as for the loss of weapons and fighters, it is even more, no wonder even Chairman Jiang has to cry poor every day." ”

"It's not the time to cry poor." Zhou Yusheng shook his head, picked up the map, walked to Su Jin and sat down, swung it on the coffee table, pointed to the map and said, "You see, although we have recovered Hangzhou, this battle is not over yet." Although Gu Shoufu, the old devil, is finished, there are still some remnants of the 23rd Army that continue to resist, such as Huzhou, Jiaxing, Ningbo, Taizhou, Wenzhou and other places are still in the hands of the devils, we have to take down these places while the devils have not slowed down, so that we can control the whole of Zhejiang in our hands!
